Weekly Vulnerabilities Reports > February 7 to 13, 2005

Buffer overflow in the get_tag function in mod_include for Apache 1.3.x to 1.3.32 allows local users who can create SSI documents to execute arbitrary code as the apache user via SSI (XSSI) documents that trigger a length calculation error.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the DEC2EXE module for Symantec AntiVirus Library allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a UPX compressed file containing a negative virtual offset to a crafted PE header.

Buffer overflow in Microsoft Office XP allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a link with a URL file location containing long inputs after (1) "%00 (null byte) in .doc filenames or (2) "%0a" (carriage return) in .rtf filenames.

Format string vulnerability in the movemail utility in (1) Emacs 20.x, 21.3, and possibly other versions, and (2) XEmacs 21.4 and earlier, allows remote malicious POP3 servers to execute arbitrary code via crafted packets.

Buffer overflow in pcdsvgaview in xpcd 2.08 allows local users to execute arbitrary code.

The (1) pj-gs.sh, (2) ps2epsi, (3) pv.sh, and (4) sysvlp.sh scripts in the ESP Ghostscript (espgs) package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and other operating systems, allow local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

stmkfont in HP-UX B.11.00 through B.11.23 relies on the user-specified PATH when executing certain commands, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code by modifying the PATH environment variable to point to malicious programs.

Multiple buffer overflows in the enable command for SCO OpenServer 5.0.6 and 5.0.7 allow local users to execute arbitrary code via long command line arguments.

The Quake 3 engine, as used in multiple game packages, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (shutdown game server) and possibly crash the server via a long infostring, possibly triggering a buffer overflow.

Unknown vulnerability in BIND 9.2.0 in HP-UX B.11.00, B.11.11, and B.11.23 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service.

Memory leak in FreeRADIUS before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a series of Access-Request packets with (1) Ascend-Send-Secret, (2) Ascend-Recv-Secret, or (3) Tunnel-Password attributes.

FreeRADIUS before 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (core dump) via malformed USR vendor-specific attributes (VSA) that cause a memcpy operation with a -1 argument.

NetOp Host before 7.65 build 2004278 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive hostname, username and local IP address information via (1) a NetOp HELO request, or (2) when responses are disabled, a "custom" HELO request.

changepassword.cgi in Neoteris Instant Virtual Extranet (IVE) 3.x and 4.x, with LDAP authentication or NT domain authentication enabled, does not limit the number of times a bad password can be entered, which allows remote attackers to guess passwords via a brute force attack.

Squid 2.5 up to 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to poison the cache via an HTTP response splitting attack.

Squid 2.5 up to 2.5.STABLE7 allows remote attackers to poison the cache or conduct certain attacks via headers that do not follow the HTTP specification, including (1) multiple Content-Length headers, (2) carriage return (CR) characters that are not part of a CRLF pair, and (3) header names containing whitespace characters.

Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in ArGoSoft Mail Server 1.8.7.3 allow remote authenticated users to read, delete, or upload arbitrary files via a ..

awstats.pl in AWStats 6.2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in the (1) "pluginmode", (2) "loadplugin", or (3) "noloadplugin" parameters.

Firefox 1.0 does not invoke the Javascript Security Manager when a user drags a javascript: or data: URL to a tab, which allows remote attackers to bypass the security model, aka "firetabbing."

vsdatant.sys in Zone Lab ZoneAlarm before 5.5.062.011, ZoneAlarm Wireless before 5.5.080.000, Check Point Integrity Client 4.x before 4.5.122.000 and 5.x before 5.1.556.166 do not properly verify that the ServerPortName argument to the NtConnectPort function is a valid memory address, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (system crash) when ZoneAlarm attempts to dereference an invalid pointer.

lspath in AIX 5.2, 5.3, and possibly earlier versions, does not drop privileges before processing the -f option, which allows local users to read one line of arbitrary files.

Multiple scripts in the perl package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The lvmcreate_initrd script in the lvm package in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1, and possibly other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The (1) gzexe, (2) zdiff, and (3) znew scripts in the gzip package, as used by other packages such as ncompress, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.

The (1) autopoint and (2) gettextize scripts in the GNU gettext package 1.14 and later versions, as used in Trustix Secure Linux 1.5 through 2.1 and other operating systems, allows local users to overwrite files via a symlink attack on temporary files.
